Jim,

The staging directory is all that needs to be copied to the web server.
I have not tried to use frontpage but have published the some samples to
a web host (http://www.rockstarapps.com). Is there a public url that I
can access to see the site?  This would help diagnose the error.

If not is the web host using IIS or Apache?  Also are you able to see
the .xal file directly in the browser?
http://address/xap/examples/helloworld/index.xal  If this file is
corrupt then you would get this error.

This seems like a configuration or deployment issue that we can fix
fairly easily.

Subject: Browser Error - XAP Milestone 2 Examples

I'm able to view the XAP examples (built from Milestone 2 code) when
they are opened in browser from my Windows 2000 machine's file system. I
can also view the examples from a virtual directory via Microsoft IIS
(i.e. localhost on web server). 

However, after using Microsoft FrontPage 2003 to publish the XAP staging
directory to a web host and attempting to view XAP examples at the
remote site, I get the following error in both Internet Explorer (v. 6
SP1) and Mozilla Firefox (v. 1.5): 

"Exception: The attribute value delimiter (or ") is missing (line=1,
column=1). Caused by: :Stopped in string: ...BLE width=[STOP]500 border
... . Last parse mode: IN_ATTR_VALUE" 

I searched in FrontPage but could not find this omission of width
attribute's delimiter (i.e. "). Why would this not be a showstopper as
well when viewing examples locally? Also, I didn't find any alteration
of files by FrontPage.

Is the XAP 'staging' directory alone sufficient for web deployment? When
I tried to copy the entire XAP tree to a directory in 'My Network
Places' (Microsoft Windows Explorer), the Subversion subdirectories
(.svn) and their contents did not transfer (because hidden attribute
set?). I was prompted to assign each subdir another name, but was unable
to do so, and clicked Cancel to close dialog box each time it appeared.
The 'staging' directory does not contain .svn subdirs, but perhaps web
deployment depends on Subversion-related folders and files located
elsewhere in XAP tree.
